This application will start off serving one purpose, to provide an easy way to add events with custom syntax to Google Calendar with Bitly integration. Further down the line we want to add addition to sync to two calendars, one with markdown links in titles, one with changed to be more suitable for a calendar.

v1.0

• GUI that can handle CRUD of events within subreddit sidebar calendar.
• Integration with Bitly on serverside to create shortlinks
• Format events to and from calendar to be viewable.
• Discord webhooks integration to send updates to.
• OAuth2 authentication. Subreddit moderator authorization for doing CRUD.

v1.1

• Sync to two calendars
  • Markdown calendar - used for subreddit sidebar on old/new Reddit design.
  • Normal calendar - used for Google Calendar, with sensible links and more stuff added to description
• Database to store events to
• Ability to store events and event meta data to local database. Including:
  • Date created
  • Last updated
  • Organizers
  • Resources
    • Links
    • Systems

v1.2

• Public access for viewing events
• iCAL file/"Add to calendar" button on event pages
• Upcoming events list on front-page
• Functionality for custom backgrounds and/or logos for events
  • Starting off by only showing different color for official FDEV and subreddit events.

v1.3
